Letters Patent N o. 98,164, dated December -21,"1869 IMPROVEMENT IN SECURIG- THE LASHES I FLY-NETS. v'

The Schedule referred to in these Letters'Patent and making part of the same.

To all whontit 'may concern:

Be it known that I, J. S. HUsTON, ot' Mechanicsburg, in the county of Cumberland, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements Iin Fly-Nets; and I do hereby declare that the followin the rib, as is the case in the ordinary mode of constructing/tly-net-s, as well as to dispense with the necessity' of doubling the lash, in order to form the loop as used heretofore in lashing the ribs'together.

To enable others skilled in the art to manufacture and use my invention. I ill proceed to describe its construction.

rI'he round rib A is constructed in the usual manner, with holes punched through, atsuitable distances apart, to receive the lashes.

The lash is also rounded in the usual manner, of any vdesirable length or thickness.

'Ihe ribs Aare lashed together by passing the lash C up through the' hole, O, in the rib A. (See iig. 2.)-l 'Ihence it is passed. entirely around the outer periphery of the rib A, from right to left, or vice yversa, (see figs. l and 2,) interlocking the lash C, at the point of juncture, immediately opposite the hole in the rib.

By this means, a much moreneat, simple, and economical, as well as a more substantial manner of constructing lynets is secured, as any strain on thelashes will not only -tend to draw the lashes more securely around the rib, but will serve greatly to strengthen .the rib just at the weakest point, by servingas a complete bandage for the same.'

I am aware that patents have been granted to other parties by which parallel stitches have been formed in lashing the ribs together; also, various looping-devices, by which the lash is passed twice through one hole, forming a loop or double appearance on the outside ot the rib. I make no claim to any such devices; but

What I do claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

'lhe manner of securingr the ribs of ily-nets together, by passing the lash singly through the hole in the rib, thence entirely around the rib, from right to left, or cioe re'rsa, and interlockingI the lash, at the point of juncture, immediately opposite 'the hole in the ribas shown and described, and for the purpose specified.` VJ. S. HUSTON. Witnesses:
